There weren't many words written on the contract, but those few words were enough to stun Aubry and Aradeline.
Because they would never sign such a contract!
A thought flashed through Aradeline's mind, and she suddenly exclaimed, "Damn it — last night!"
"Last night?"
Aubury was stunned, and his expression turned ugly. "You got us drunk and tricked us into signing this contract!?"
"How is that tricking?"
Tang En smiled shyly. "After the two dukes heard about my trouble, they patted their chests and promised to help me solve it for the sake of the wine …"
"That's impossible!"
"That's right! Impossible! "
"I also think it's impossible."
Tang En blinked and said with a smile, "But I didn't expect the two dukes to be so kind. In order to prove that what they said was true, they insisted on forcing me to sign this contract … Sigh, it's really giving me a headache."
"How is that possible … My dear?"
Aubury's face was pale, and he looked at Parola and Elsa for help.
Parola, who was drinking tea and chatting, said angrily, "What Tang En said is true."
Aubury looked like he was struck by lightning.
"It's true!"
Elsa added. "I saw it with my own eyes."
Aubury broke down instantly. "Oh, hehehehe … I actually … actually got tricked by a kid …"
"Old man …"
Aradeline, who got the same answer from Erika, was emitting a dark aura. "Why don't we kill him …"
"That's a good idea …"
"Let's do it …"
"Wait! What do you want to do!? "
Tang En looked vigilant. "Don't blame me for not reminding you. This contract was signed under the witness of the gods! If you go back on your word, hehe … "
Aubury and Aradeline were stunned.
This bastard had even considered this point!?
This was not an impromptu idea, was it?
This was clearly planned and premeditated!
"So," Tang En said earnestly, "you should follow the contract …"
"According to the contract?"
Aubrey sneered. "We had an agreement. You help us convince Elsa, and I'll arrange a shop for you. Today, all of your people went to look at the shop, and then you came up with a contract saying that the shop was free of charge. Can't we interfere with Elsa's freedom?"
"That's fine, but you actually want us to help you collect your debt?!"
Veins were bulging on Adrian's forehead. "What do you take us for?"
"A golden thigh."
Tang En spread out his hands and said matter-of-factly, "Since I can save trouble with your background, why not?"
"You —"
Aubrey was rendered speechless by the shameless Tang En.
"I don't think you want to see me wreak havoc in the Cadier Family, do you? Although I can still get my debt back that way. "
Tang En said with a smile, "I don't think it's good for everyone … right?"
The two dukes were silent.
Moments later, Aubry said in a muffled voice, "We admit defeat! Give me the bill, and we'll settle this matter for you. "
Tang En handed the bill to Aubrey with a smile. "You should've done this earlier."
"We only agreed to this because of His Majesty Victor!"
Aubrey snorted and continued, "After all, you're the Lord of Ellington. Although we don't know why His Majesty Victor made an exception and promoted you to be the Lord of Ellington, we think that he must have taken a fancy to your potential. Perhaps he wants to cultivate a special force … Ellington is likely to be the hope of the rise of our royal faction, so we don't want you to die for no reason."
Wait, what the hell is potential?
Tang En was baffled. Was there such a meaning to him becoming the Lord? What the hell!
Would a civilization whose goal was the sea of stars care about the gains and losses of a planet?
Obviously not!
These stupid mortals!
Tang En's goal was to save the entire world of order in Prandal!
He didn't have the time to engage in some internal royal struggle!
"Let them all go to hell!"
Tang En said impatiently. "It's best if they don't bother me. Don't force me to flip the table."
Aubrey and Ardrian looked at each other and nodded secretly.
As expected of the man chosen by His Majesty Victor. His courage and confidence were extraordinary!
In the face of possible threats, Tang En was not afraid at all. This made Aubrey and Ardrian look at him in a new light.
Thus, Aubry began to think that the kid was hiding more than he had imagined.
Think about it. If he was just an ordinary person, a lucky guy, even with the support of His Majesty Victor, he still wouldn't be able to resist the pervasive power of the nobles.
But if he was strong enough, strong enough to not fear the assassination of the enemy, and even to the extent of being able to fight them head-on …
Then he would undoubtedly be a special force of His Majesty Victor!
Thinking of this, Aubrey suddenly understood why he had to hide his strength!
He might have secretly discussed with His Majesty Victor. Only by hiding his strength could he better lay dormant and develop Ellington. Once Ellington was developed well, the royal family would have a stable base!
In order to let the Empire rise again, he was actually willing to be so patient. He was indeed a man who could achieve great things!
Aubrey couldn't help but respect him. Since he was shouldering such an important mission, the matter of collecting debts should be left to him.
However, no matter how deep Aubrey and Ardrian thought and imagined, they probably didn't know what Tang En meant by "flipping the table" …
"By the way, you just said that Hilton went to look at the shop?"
"Yes, the butler found a good place and has taken her there. If possible, the property transfer can be completed today."
"Well … I'll go back to my room to rest first."
Tang En pondered for a moment. Under the strange gaze of Aubrey and the others, he excused himself and went back to his room.
If the location of the shop was really good, and Hilton could settle it, then the people of the caravan would start to get busy.
Unlike Bein's shop, Tang En planned to design it himself this time.
How many shops were there in Alinx? Not to mention the existence of the Trade Union.
If he wanted to gain a foothold in this place with his own strength, it would be impossible to win by surprise.
Tang En sat on the chair and pondered. On the bed behind him, under the quilt, a pair of big eyes were silently staring at him, staring at him, staring at him …
"Wah!!!"
"…"
Tang En looked up blankly, and after a moment of staring at Elijah who suddenly jumped out, he suddenly fell to the ground with a look of horror. "Wahhh!! Scared me to death, scared me to death — "
If Fiona saw this exaggerated acting, she would definitely mock him. But now, he easily fooled Elijah …
"Hehe! You must be scared! "
Elijah raised her neck proudly. "You scared me yesterday! You ignored me just now! This is revenge! "
She was still a child …
Tang En snickered in his heart, but he pretended to be very angry. "You'd better stay there and don't run! See if I don't spank your little butt until it's swollen! "
"Ah —"
Elijah exclaimed and turned to run away without saying a word!
After Elijah escaped from the room, Tang En laughed.
Nola, who appeared out of nowhere, pointed at Tang En and curled her lips. "You're so bad."
"I'm just joking with her."
Tang En smiled and flicked Nola. "You go play with her, I have something to do."
After Nola left, Tang En closed the door and began to busy himself until Hilton came back in the afternoon.
"You're back? How's the location of the shop? "
Hilton looked at Tang En and lowered her head, the expression on her face was very complicated. "The location is very good, and the property rights have been obtained."
Tang En frowned slightly. "Isn't that a good thing? Why do you look like that? "
"My Lord …"
Hilton opened her mouth and looked hesitant. Tang En said impatiently, "If you have something to say, just say it. It's been so long, and you still don't know my character?"
"Okay, my Lord."
Hilton sighed. "The shop that the duke's butler found for us … used to belong to the Rosa d 'Oro family."
Tang En's face changed instantly. "Really?"
"I was in charge of the logistics of the shop back then. How could I be wrong …"
Hilton's expression was very complicated. "But what happened after that? Why did the Rosa d 'Oro family suddenly collapse? Why did the shop become the property of the Foire family … "
"Fiona didn't even tell you why the Rosa d 'Oro family collapsed?"
Hilton shook her head. "We were originally just managers trained by the family, not direct members of the Rosa d 'Oro family, so we didn't know this secret. Thomas, I and the others only knew that the Rosa d' Oro family collapsed almost overnight …"
Tang En frowned. "If they were mortal enemies, you should've all been killed."
"We were also curious about this. It seems that someone secretly helped the Rosa d 'Oro family, so we survived …"
Hilton hesitated. "My Lord … I'm worried …"
"I know what you want to say."
Tang En thought for a moment and said in a low voice, "I'll help you ask the duke later."
Tang En understood Hilton's concern. The shop was the property of the Foire family, which meant that the Foire family was probably the one who destroyed Fiona's family.
If that was the case, then Fiona might not be able to accept Elsa's new identity.
The Rosa d 'Oro family was a merchant family, so it was very likely that they would lean towards the aristocratic party. After knowing that the royal party and the aristocratic party had been fighting openly and secretly, it was possible that Aubry and the others had destroyed them …
